[ First of course, is text to get everyone's attention.. ]

ATTENTION DUCKS!

[ Then it switches to video. ]
Yurippe here!

[ She waves, smiling. She's actually in her desk in the prinipal's office/SSS headquarters right now, not in Rokkenjima. Mostly because rain as background noise makes this less exciting. She points at the screen dramatically. ]

Next month, I want to host an event that will put to the test all fighting styles and determine who on the community is truly the strongest! Consider this a challenge, fighters. There will be two divisions, one for physical strength and one for super-human talents. You can enter either division as long as you follow the rules set out for each one, which I'll announce at another time.

For now, I need a few things to get this started: [ Yuri holds up one finger before her. ]

One! Multiple arenas. If your world has a unique, deserted area that you think would provide an excellent and challenging course for a fight to occur that won't get us arrested, volunteer here. [ Yuri lowers her finger, putting her hand off to the side. ] For one of the more dangerous courses, I'll be activating Guild's traps and Guild territory will act as a field. I'm looking for more than one field though, so just because someone has suggested one, it doesn't mean you can't.

[ A second finger up! ]

Two! Refreshments. There'll probably be an audience right? So there needs to be drinks and snacks. I'm not asking for full course meals or anything, but definitely things like popcorn and meat buns and.. hot dogs on a stick. You know, sporting event food.

Three! Prize sponsors! I've already got a couple of ideas, but clearly the grand prize should be something ridiculously awesome. If you're the most powerful in more than one universe, you deserve it.

Four is Equipment. A camera crew would be nice for the people who don't want to get worldhopped around to the different fighting arenas but still want to watch, but I'm sure we can work something out with our community devices for that. If someone could get some bleachers for stadium seating for an audience, that'd be great. I've got projectors and lots of other equipment left over from the SSS for a lot of other things I'll need, but those sorts of things are definitely needed.

Last but definitely not least! Five! [ A sweet smile and Yuri excitedly leans forward, then back in her nice big chair. ] Volunteers! Brave ones too. If you're going to be refereeing fights, I can guarantee some people aren't going to be holding back so you're going to definitely have to have guts. Possibly immortality. I'll be there since it's not like I can die again, but I'll need eyes in multiple places to keep track of things and people to hand out refreshments. Oh! And on-site medics. Don't want anyone dying, obviously.

That's it, other than that I think I can work out things like that. If you think you'd be interested in fighting, don't volunteer yet. I'll post a sign up later once we get more things together and come up with a roster. It'll probably be sometime mid-February so we've got plenty of time to prepare. Questions?

I guess I could enter in the magic division. Though I'm also good at Cure spells, if you need healers.

[tenminutes]

Great. We'll definitely need healers, so if I could have you on standby when you're not in your matches. I'll try to get at least one more healer so you're not working all on your own and you'll have someone during your fights too. What's your name?

[shiningwaters]

All right. I'm Aqua.

[tenminutes]

Nice to meet you. I'm Yuri. Yurippe works too, whichever you want. Yurippe's the nickname, even though it's longer.

[shiningwaters]

All right then, Yurippe. Just let me know whatever you need.

[tenminutes]

I'll be in touch, definitely. Thanks for volunteering! I'll have an official form for the participant stuff later, just because I want to know some details to make sure that everything's fair and we don't give anyone unnatural disadvantages like.. dumping Superman in the middle of a Kryptonite cave.

[shiningwaters]

All right, thank you.

[tenminutes]

No problem and thank you!
